living among fairies and butterflies
Wanted to post my version of my future toh au Huntlow family!! I made this a little while back but the designs still hold up to me 💚💛
As I’ve seen with others, their son is named Caleb because I love that trope :3
Okay, Willow modern-day college AU headcanon that I can't stop thinking about:
Airk is absolutely a cheerleader, right?
Like, all the boys in his class make fun of him for it until they realize he gets to spend so much time with the girls. He's slept with half of them, sure, but he's also just a sweetheart who will help them braid their hair or listen to their boy problems.
He's also really good at it! He does backflips when the football team scores (Madmartigan absolutely taught him how to do a backflip when he was a kid, and he's been using it to impress girls since he was 12), and he'll do shit like do one-armed pushups with girls sitting on his back just to impress the crowd.
I'm standing by this headcanon.
P.S. Graydon absolutely plays flute in the marching band.
Ideas for a Willow Star Trek AU
(Just the ideas, sorry.I suck at putting words on paper so if anyone wants to pick this up,I'm begging you please do.)
Jade is a half Romulan and half Klingon. She was adopted and raised on Vulcan by commander Ballantine, a Vulcan Starfleet officer and a close friend of Admiral Tanthamore, who found her after a mission to escort some colonists had gone very, very wrong.He does genuinely love her, but has never once told her about what happened back then.Despite knowing about her romulan heritage he raised her as half-Vulcan instead, as he believed things would be easier for her if she didn't know.Nor has he ever told her about a certain exiled Klingon general by the name of K'ael, who may or may not be her biological father.
(K'ael was not a nice guy. He was a charismatic political extremist who had some good points, but also committed many war crimes. Best let his legacy rest)
Jade went to Starfleet academy to follow in her father's footsteps and met Kit there.
Sorsha Tanthalos was born in a colony of descendants of the genetically enhanced supersoldiers of the Eugenics Wars (like Khaan & co) led by her mother Bavmorda.Never quite managing to meet her mother's ideals of "perfection", she ran way and joined Starfleet, making a dazzling career and eventually becoming an admiral.She is known for her diplomatic skills and is often called in for negotiations, though deep down she's tired and really would go back to being an explorer instead, not that she'll ever admit it.Sorsha despises her mother's legacy and everything associated with it, which at times leads her to make some questionable choices.
The Bone Reavers started out as a group of renegade Romulans fleeing from their government, but evolved into a mixed-species tribe of space nomads hanging out on the fringes of colonized space. They got by through trade, hauling cargo, salvage, and other odd jobs, as well as the odd bit of contraband ans space piracy.
At some point in time a newcomer called K' ael took over as their leader.Under him the None Reavers managed to rise considerably in power and wealth (and infamy) by serving as space mercenaries to whomever paid well, eventually allying themselves with an ambitious warlord called Bavmorda.
Unfortunately for them Bavmorda's downfall dragged the Bone Reaver's down as well: due to their indiscriminating attacks on border settlements, as well as Bavmorda's and K'aels atrocities, they became hated by pretty much everyone, making them pariahs and leading them to resort to criminal activities more often than before.
Scorpia is the leader of what remains of the Bone Reavers.She's seeking a home for her people away from the Federation or any other major power.
The Galladoorn is a humanoid alien species (hey, it's star trek) which recently allied themselves with the Federation, though they're not looking to join.They have an empire of their own, and are quite powerful, but appear to be fairly peaceful and benign at first glance.However as the series progresses they will gradually be revealed to have a dark side.
Madmartigan was a captain in the Galladoornish navy.He was court-martialed and formally exiled from all Galladoornish territories for reasons he refuses to discuss.He then joined Starfleet instead, earning the rank of captain incredibly fast, and got put in charge of an spaceship specialising in exploration and first contact much like the Enterprise did. Madmartigan often claimed to be the best captain in the history of Starfleet. The admiralty's opinions on this are ...mixed.
Airk Thaughbaer was Madmartigan's second in command in the Galladoornish navy, who took over his post as captain after his court martial.Last time Mads talked to him he was a vice admiral.Airk was killed soon after.
Madmartigan met Sorsha on a joint Starfleet mission and married her.She was promoted shortly after.They were happy.However about ten years in Madmartigan went MIA during a mission under mysterious circumstances.Sorsha had been the one who suggested him for the mission, and she never quite forgave herself for that.
Thraxus Boorman,the rather traumatized rookie ensign that was accompanying him was found only years later after escaping from a Cardassian prison, nowhere near the last place they were seen.The third member of the away team, Lt. Allagash, was never found and is believed to have been killed in action.Boorman refused to tell anything about what happened and resigned from Starfleet. He pops up on Sorsha's radar occasionally, usually to ask her to bail him out (again).
Willow Ufgood was Madmartigan's second-in-command and chief science officer. He stayed in Starfleet for awhile after Mads disappeared, became a captain, then promptly resigned over a"political disagreement" and returned to his home planet, where he became a renowned professor at a local university.
Kit and Airk joined Starfleet as early as they could, much to Sorsha's chagrin, as she's terrified they'll vanish just like their father.
And then Airk did just that.
Zivian Hastur is the current emperor of Galladoorn. A few years ago, he visited Earth for negotiations, and Kit, Jade and Airk got assigned as tour guides for his son, Prince Graydon.This somehow *accidentally* resulted in Graydon running off to join Starfleet.For diplomatic purposes, as a symbol of cooperation between the two powers, off course ,and definitely not because his father kept suggesting they seal the treaty with a personal union between him and the admiral's daughter.
Graydon joins the search for Airk as a science officer
Jörgen Kase is an experienced captain and Kit and Airk's mentor who gets put in charge of the search party.One last mission before he retires...yup, you've guessed it, he gets killed in the pilot episode.
Ensign Brunhild "Dove" Davids is Airk's girlfriend who asks her commanding officer for "personal time off" and then promptly sneaks aboard the search party's ship as stowaway to go look for Airk. She's a talented medical officer who likes to cook in her spare time. Her file says she was born on earth, but there are some odd discrepancies, and all records of her are a decade old at most.Also both Willow and Sorsha seem to know her even though she's never met them...very weird.
Willow only joined this mission as a last favour to Sorsha and because he's known the twins since their birth and is fond of them.But Kase dies unexpectedly and he's the most experienced officer on board so he's captain now. He is Not happy about this.
Boorman gets pulled out of whatever prison he's landed himself in this time by Sorsha to serve as their guide, being an expert on the area where Airk and his team were last seen.He eventually takes over as the crews navigator/ pilot
Jade is the security officer
Kit is the (somewhat self-proclaimed) second-in-command after the original XO, Silas, gets killed
Kenneth the mudmander is a non-humanoid telepathic alien of a previously unknown species that tried to hijack the ship to escape from slavers. He forms a strong bond with Graydon and eventually takes over as their guide after they leave known space (insert plot convenient wormhole)
Airk switched between divisions (and girlfriends/boyfriends) so often that nobody took him too seriously when he settled for command, claiming to want to become an even better captain than his father was. (he meant it, though).He's a bit of a jack of all trades, and a pretty good engineer, though he doesn't really believe himself to be particularly good at anything.He also gets trapped in holodeck malfunctions A Lot.
@the-grimsqueaker wyd think?
im sat on the sofa feeling poorly and watching critical role and suddenly got an intense need to write a modern day willow au where they're just playing a dnd campaign.
because it's too perfect.
graydon is the one who wants to start it the most, he's always been in to dnd but has never really had any friends so has never actually been able to play. his character sheet has been ready to go since he was like 10 and he already knows all the spells he wants to use. a bard with a dark past who never rolls well in battle.
elora is happy to play and chooses something like a druid because she likes the idea of talking to and turning into animals. she doesn't quite understand just how powerful her character is until half way through the campaign where the dm does a big reveal about her past.
they play at scorpia's, she's got the big table and the space. so she makes appearances every so often when they're at a part of the adventure that sounds interesting to her.
boorman used to play when he was younger, and massively enjoys making the dms life difficult. very much in a "no kids this is how u play" way when really he keeps complicating everything and has almost got them killed a few times.
jade was on board as soon as she was told her character could use a sword, and she had to convince scorpia to host.
kit does not understand the rules. she never knows what she's rolling for or what stats to check and honestly thought the whole thing was a bit childish and silly at first, but jade wanted to play so she went along with it. but now? she always acts without thinking which causes a round of groans from the rest of the group but always makes it more interesting, and its kit who many hours later that night will still be thinking about what could have went differently.
airk lives in a different city most of the time, away for college or something, but joins in whenever he's in the area. sometimes he'll video call in from where he is too and his character does his own little side quests.
willow is the disgruntled uncle figure that they convinced to be their dm. as soon as they all learned he had done it before and knew how, they wouldn't stop annoying him and he figured that giving in and running a campaign would be the easiest road to take rather than trying to fight them on it. he enjoys it a lot more than he lets on.
as a group, the characters they made are so all over the place that it really shouldn't work, but somehow it does.
silly willow as new girl characters clip i made

@dutyxbound
The gates of Tir Asleen stood before her and for a moment Tilda could simply not believe that she had come this far. Months on the road, hunger and cold, she had endured it all. For this. She had reached her destiny only to find the doors locked, the guards patrolling, the all too familiar sound of a city preparing for war rang in her ears as she stepped closer. Raising her eyes to the guard tower she called out: "Forgive me, but is there any chance a weary traveller can find shelter here?"
